The developer revealed exclusive content for year-one players who have either reached level 30 or have purchased the House of Wolves and The Dark Below. Those players will receive a black sparrow, emblem and shader. Players will also be able to purchase new emotes and other digital content from the Taken King Collector’s Edition for $20. The announcement is the latest in an ongoing blunder concerning Bungie’s new DLC for Destiny.

Two mysterious characters — looking like a young Xehanort and Eraqus — playing chess and speaking in enigmatic terms about the impending Keyblade War…sounds like the makings of a Kingdom Hearts trailer.

Square Enix showcased Kingdom Hearts 3 at its E3 press conference and what a sight it was to behold. Moments after the chess scene, the video shows Sora climbing rocks and battling enemies in what could be Mt. Olympus from “Hercules.” The video shows Sora running up the wall of a cliff to do battle with the two-headed stone titan from the Disney movie.

Fractured but Whole references the characters played by the boys during the Coon and Friends arc from season 14 of the series.

From Ubisoft:

Players will delve into the crime-ridden underbelly of South Park with Coon and Friends. This dedicated group of crime fighters was formed by Eric Cartman whose superhero alter-ego, The Coon, is half man, half raccoon. As the New Kid, players will join Mysterion, Toolshed, Human Kite, Mosquito, Mint Berry Crunch and a host of others to battle the forces of evil while Coon strives to make his team the most beloved superheroes in history.

As with the tone of the first game and the television series, expect this game to be profanity-laced and filled with incredibly crude humor, as it references all sorts of things from South Park’s nearly two-decade history. Fair warning, the trailer has coarse language.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole is slated for a 2016 release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

It’s been a big day from the Microsoft press conference at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

Halo 5 Guardians led the way. Microsoft announced that Halo 5 will feature a new cooperative mode called Warzone. The mode features up to 24 players and massive maps in which players join forces to defeat A.I. controlled enemies.

Despite having their own press conference yesterday, Bethesda softworks announced that Xbox One owners will able to enjoy PC mods for free on their console. The news is a big change for console owners and will likely change the console experience.Read more…

Developers this week released a stunning gameplay video that shows not just the muscle of the Batmobile — which is a new introduction in the series’ fourth installment — but the breadth and life of Gotham City, which for the first time gets to be rendered in stunning next-gen quality.

The five-minute-plus trailer reveals the Battle Mode footage for the first time and ends with a surprise visit to (and by) a couple of Batman’s biggest enemies.

The magazine released an interview revealing three of Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto’s latest projects, one of which was Star Fox. It’s been nearly 10 years since a Star Fox game graced a home console.

Fox is back in his Arwing, but the game does allow him to turn the aircraft into a tank and raze enemies on the ground. According the TIME article, players control the Arwing and the Landmaster using the gamepad’s motion control scheme. The controls will feature the Immelman turn and those imperative barrel rolls Peppy Hare is so fond of.

The article states that the game is at least a year away, but expect more from Nintendo as time goes by.

After a dragging Ubisoft E3 conference complete with multiple motion control games and lame jokes from host Aisha Tyler, gamers got a well-deserved treat, Rainbow Six is back.

While other notable Ubisoft titles like Tom Clancy’s The Division and Assassin’s Creed Unity made waves of their own, the crowd went wild after Ubisoft showed thrilling gameplay footage from a multiplayer brawl from the upcoming game.

The match started with a group of five named Team Raven scouting a house where the opposing five-man team held a hostage. Using drones, the team was able to see what barricades their enemies set up, where the hostage was located and what entrances were guarded. After some recon, the players breached a trio of second story windows and dove into the action.
